Dragons Don’t Share
Book Review
The dragon who shares is my favourite book
Adam loves this story and has repeatedly pulled it off the shelf. The large, colourful pictures are attractive and he particularly likes the “dragon eating fire”. He says “The dragon who shares is my favourite book”.
The story is cute and a perfect way to teach pre-schoolers about sharing.
Adam’s older brothers were interested in the dragon being pink and called Ruby and loved how she became a friendly, sharing giant.
We had some some great family discussions about stereotypes and how this can lead to being judgmental.
They also enjoyed inspecting all the interesting things in the treasure hoard, we could play I Spy with this!
About the Book
In this picture book written and illustrated by Nicola Kinnear a young dragon learns to share. She eventually realises, with a little bit of guidance from her friends, that sharing is more fun.
Ruby the dragon follows all the rules in her Dragon Rule Book: she steals from everyone, and NEVER shares her treasure with ANYONE! The other animals are desperate – until they come up with a clever plan to change the Dragon Rules…
